Jasprit Bumrah: The "Reserve Bank of India" of Indian Bowling
Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian pace spearhead, has emerged as a pivotal force in Team India's recent successes, particularly in the ongoing T20 World Cup. His exceptional performances have earned him high praise from former all-rounder Irfan Pathan, who has likened him to the "Reserve Bank of India" for his reliability and consistency.
Bumrah's three-wicket haul against arch-rivals Pakistan in a low-scoring encounter was a testament to his ability to deliver under pressure. His deadly spell helped India secure a crucial victory in the tournament opener. Against Afghanistan, he registered impressive figures of 4/7, further showcasing his dominance.
Pathan lauded Bumrah's ability to set the tone for the bowling attack, particularly in the early overs. "He is like the Reserve Bank of India. He is absolutely safe. You expect him to perform when he bowls four overs in any situation. He sets up the game," Pathan said.
Bumrah's effectiveness stems from his unwavering line and length, coupled with his judicious use of slower balls. "He bowls good lengths. If you see his pitch map, you will get to see a cluster, the slower ones, and you will see him using the bouncer only when it's required," Pathan observed.
In the ongoing World Cup, Bumrah's ability to generate reverse swing in the latter stages of the innings has been a significant advantage for India. "When Jasprit Bumrah will come to bowl in the end, you will get to see a little reverse as well. It's a very big factor if India have to win this World Cup," Pathan emphasized.
Bumrah's exceptional skills and unwavering determination have made him an indispensable asset for Team India. His ability to control the flow of runs and take crucial wickets has been instrumental in India's victories. As the tournament progresses, Bumrah's contributions will be crucial if India is to lift the coveted trophy.
